Why don't NFL teams hire freakishly tall men to catch the balls? I mean they'd be so much taller than the defender he couldn't even knock the ball out of the air.

Why don't you go fuck yourself with your ring Frodo?

Because 6'11 dudes are slow and lanky as fuck and would probably get injured immediately
>>
>>63758372
Have you ever seen someone who is 6'10 run? They look awkward as fuck and have the worst knees.

>>63758395
he means like 7 feet+. Dwight Howard is probably the only human to ever exist that could fufill that role

Why don't NHL teams have goalies that are literally so fat there isn't a single open inch of goal for the puck to get through? It would be literally impossible to score. Especially with the pads adding even more girth.

pic not related because the puck could get in the corners.

>>63758395
haha these guys are taller than they look on tv
still, there are NBA players 20cm taller than those tight ends, and their arms are another 10cm longer. those 30cm can win you the superbowl

Too slow. Who gives a shit if you can catch over everybody when you run a 6.0 40? You couldn't even catch the pass because the QB is sacked by the time you get an adequate amount of yards downfield. On top of which, who says this lanklet can catch? On top of which, who says this lanklet is smart enough to understand an entire playbook? On top of which, when he gets tackled at the knees they will break. On top of which, I'm tired of continuing with this post so I'll stop here.

If this were true don't you think teams would have already picked up on this? Yes they might be taller, but I can almost guarantee they're slower.
>>
>>63758454
Probably because of speed iand mobility I would think. That's why Megatron is so praised, he has a very good combination of height and mobility and good hands
>>
>>63758372

Tall guys would get absolutely embrassed by corners at the line. They'd never get a clean release, plus they are too slow
>>
>>63758485
>>63758491
These and also why am I supposed to believe some NBA player wouldn't crumple after the first big hit he takes by some SS?

>>63758395
You just described yur mum m8

>>63758448

This.

>>63758448

Can some /hoc/ fag please answer this?
>>
>>63758448
>>63758900

Captain Subasa's Borghini tried it and failed
>>
>>63758929

How did it fail?
>>
>>63758946
Exactly what >>63758448 said. They shot at the corners
>>
>>63758372
that's what we need, people with lanky limbs and delicate joints in a game that allows physical contact

these freaks wouldn't last tryouts, never mind actual practice

>mfw imagining NBA players getting their legs taken out from under them
it would be a massacre
>>
>what is gronk

>>63758921
I think there's a weight limit.
